Top Prospect Games Trackman/Blast Leaderboard
August 24, 2020
The PBR of NC Top Prospect Games has quickly become one of the "must" events of each summer for college coaches, pro scouts, and the top players from across the state. With continued regulations from the NCAA, college coaches were able to follow via a live stream that featured 3 separate camera angles throughout the day. With the roster put together, there were several pro scouts on hand, representing their MLB clubs, to see the talent on hand.
Position players kicked the day off with a full pro-style workout, including running a laser timed 60 on the Burlington Royals's warning track. Live BP followed with TrackMan and Blast following the action of each player's swing. Players then went through a defensive workout, showcasing from their primary positions.
After the pro-style, the position players were split into 3 teams competing in a live scrimmage situation. Pitchers did not compete for a team, instead throwing assigned innings. The 3 team rotation allowed players to play and fill in at secondary positions, gave them a little time off, and allowed for the batting orders to be limited in their size, working to get each hitter 4 live at-bats on the day. With the pitchers throwing live, TrackMan was again in use, tracking ball flight out of the hand, giving PBR Scouts advanced analytics on each arm.
